Quality of Work Life

Quality of Work Life

Employees' level of happiness at work. Quality of work life may come from salaries, flexibility in allowing employees to attend family events or other things. Different persons have different definitions of quality of work life. For example, one person may derive satisfaction from traveling while another may consider it the worst part of his/her job.

The elements that are relevant to an individual quality of work life include task, working environment, organizational culture, administrative system and the relationship between on the job and off the job life (Baitul Islam 2012).

The research of Efraty and Sirgy (2004), on quality of work life was conceptualized in terms of need satisfaction stemming from an interaction of workers' needs of survival, social needs, ego needs, and self-actualization needs and those organizational resources relevant for meeting them.

The field of quality-of-life studies is a program of research that examines the conceptualization and measurement of concepts relating to quality of life and social indicators, including happiness, subjective well-being, quality of work life, leisure well being and quality of home life, among others.
